NECKER (Jacques). Autograph letter. Castle of Coppet [country of Vaud in Switzerland], "this Friday". 1 p. 1/2 in-4. "I am sending you, Sir, the sheets of my work of the edition of POUJENS which came to me by I don't know what chance; you wanted to look for the cause and perhaps this would be an opportunity for you to tell the controller of the post office, with whom you are not happy, that he is doing his job badly because it is impossible that the package was sent to you from Paris. I suffered to feel you yesterday traveling in the middle of the wind and I hope that you were not inconvenienced. I renew to you with my daughter [GERMAINE DE STAËL] all my thanks for your kind visit and I beg you to accept with my gratitude the assurances of the homage of my inviolable attachment... " Jacques Necker published two works with Charles Pougens: two collections of texts established by him from the manuscripts left by his wife Suzanne Curchod after his death in 1794, entitled Mélanges (1798) and Nouveaux mélanges (1801).
